WATCH: Will Smith Goes REALLY Old School On Fallon
Supporters of Barack Obama, including Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy and Moveon.org Political Action, have called for Clinton to, well, move on. In an interview with the Washington Post, Clinton said there ain't no stopping her now:
I have no intention of stopping until we finish what we started and until we see what happens in the next 10 contests and until we resolve Florida and Michigan. And if we don't resolve it, we'll resolve it at the convention -- that's what credentials committees are for.Women have Clinton's back. South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Carol Fowler, an Obama backer, warned:
We cannot go forward until Florida and Michigan are taken care of, otherwise the eventual nominee will not have the legitimacy that I think will haunt us.
Women will indeed be upset if it appears people are trying to push Hillary Clinton out of the way. If you are going to ask her to withdraw, you'd better be making a strong case for it - both to the candidate and the public.But the case for Clinton to get out of the race is weak. As Peter Daou, Clinton's Internet Director, points out:
The race is virtually tied; the "will of the people" is split. By virtually every measure, Hillary and Sen. Obama are neck and neck -- separated by less than 130 of the more than 3,100 delegates committed thus far and less than 1% of the 27 million+ votes cast.If Michigan and Florida are included, Clinton leads Obama in the popular vote.
So when will the nomination battle be over? When it's over.

Michigan and Florida need to re-vote or the democratic nominee will not be legitimate. Michigan and Florida are amongst the largest 10 states in the nation and their votes and voices need to be heard.
The democrats have two superstar candidates to choose from – that’s why it’s soo close.
I prefer Hillary. She is a strong, smart woman who has paid her dues. She also has a long record of supporting civil rights which is why she has so many African American office holders and notables (i.e. Maya Angelou, Berry Gordy, Magic Johnson, Robert Johnston, Maxine Walters, Star Jones, etc.) supporting her.

I always knew that the Clintons were liars, I first found out in 1999 when they met with Isaiah Shoels' family and told them they would do anything their family needed but after the meeting they were never heard from again. I know this because my father Sam Riddle stepped up and was there spokesman. Michael and Sam have took it upon themselves to speak out about school shootings, which I call domestic terrorism. I dont know why any of the presidential canidates haven't addressed this issue, do you know why the havent?
There is a song dedicated to school shootings called suspect at www.myspace.com/madtownproductioncompany and it has hillary's name in it.

I don't like the dirty way that Hillary has been running her campaign. I think that Obama is a very intelligent man. He doesn't seem to be hitting below the belt, like the Clinton's have. I believe that he may have a little more interest when it comes to African-American issues than Clinton ever will. He definitely has my vote

I don't give a damn what this article states, nor what Leahy says. We live in a Democracy and that means every person in this country has a right to cast their vote for the person of their choice. There are numerous states that have yet to vote. Hello, that's why it's called a primary election. And lets get something clear here since Leahy and others like him think that the country is stupid enough to buy into his lie as it stands neither Hillary nor Barrack can get to the magic number of 2 thousand + figure so therefore Barack is not the official nominee and never has been. Furthermore the reason for the convention and superdelegets in the first place is to make the decision who the nominee will be and that is the nominee that can win the general election. If Leahy and others like him can't stand for democracy to run its full course its just too damn bad because the country demands that it runs its course. This is bigger than Hillary and Barrack. It is about our votes being counted in every state. What a bunch of
manipulative bullies!

It's unbelievable that Hillary's supporters would say she would have the popular vote if Michigan and Florida were counted. First of all Obama's name wasn't even on the ballet (I guess Hillary was running against herself). Secondly, Obama never campaigned in Florida. This is totally ridiulous. Do we really want to show the youth of this country that it's alright to lie and cheat. We need much prayer!!!!
